Serbs owe a lot to Irish. In 1915, the Serbian army and civilian refugees were pulling out from the onslaught of combined German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian armies. Bulgarians tried to cut off their retreat. However, the 10th Irish Division (UK at that time) covered their retreat, facing an entire Bulgarian army. The 5th Dublin battalion got decimated in that battle, and others took pretty much the same beating, but Serbian army was able to pull out, and live to fight another day. If you go to Macedonia to lake Dorjan, you can find a monument to the sacrifice of the Irish soldiers. ps. As I won't be doing any travel, due to Covid-19 restrictions, any time soon, can you go to The Old Borough in Swords and have a pint there for me? :-)

White in the name came from medieval times since fortress inside at that time was filled with towers and buildings (where park is now) built with white stone so approaching from the river it looked like white town,it was kinda glowing white. Tesla museum will be moved to a much larger building soon (in 2-3 years), actually it's an old abandoned power plant building on the Danube and near city center. This current building was kinda temporary solution, since they can't show most of Tesla's stuff because of lack of space, big chunk is collecting dust in depot. That pavement around Saint Sava temple is not repaired because next year they will start renovation of that whole area around the temple,they are finishing now with circle plateau around it.

But there is better black beer Niksicko... Much better then Guinness

13:17 Hahahhahaha I laughed so hard at this :D Its not like that, its just really not common to see people in Serbia walking around and filming themselves, it was more like "Ah, a tourist." Im glad that you had a nice time and that you liked Serbia, I have plans to go to Ireland as well, we are very similar by mentality but Irish are lots more stubborn and that really means stubborn. :D

I believe he didn't think that but I thought it would give ppl a bit of a laugh 😉. You're right about the Irish and Serbs having a similar mentality. That became very clear to me very fast. I wish I could video every encounter but of course thats impossible. Literally from the second I arrived, the border control guy was such a cool bloke and was happy and surprised to meet an Irishman walking over the border. I reckon very few iriah people have been to Serbia. No doubt that will change in the coming years I'm sure of it 👍😉

Another great and funny vid. Have a good Xmas my man and thanks for the vids this year. Here's to you reaching 1k subs in 2022 and getting you some beer money for your travels next year 👍 🍾

It pronounce like Skadar+Lia name with Turkish "Lia" suffix which usually means place, it's Bohemian quart that name came from "Skadarska Ulica" which means "Skadar street" ( Skadar = town in North Albania in medieval times it was Serbian and it's mentioned in serbian epic songs many times as Serbian founded).

You know why Serbians feel a connection to the Irish? Because Belgrade and a lot of the surrounding areas including the city of Sofia were Celtic cities. Tara mountain in Serbia is from the same name Tara in Ireland. The Danube was named by the Celts, one of dozens of rivers they named throughout Europe, many with that root of "Dan" in it (Don Dan Dn etc. including the Rhine, the Vistula and many others). It isnt odd they also named Danzig or Gdansk and Danmark. People think the Celts were limited to Ireland, but they were all over Europe (not just Iberia). There is a lot of history we are never told about this. It conflicts with someone elses history I am not allowed to say who on this totally controlled site.

A really good and natural video capturing Belgrade vibe in under 20mins, you’re really nailed it. Others tend to over-edit their videos and add unnecessary music that completely changes the perspective. Cheers, you’ve got a new sub! P.S. Next time you should visit the New Belgrade and Zemun as well.

Belgrade means white city or white town because the Celts called it "Singhi Dun", meaning something like "White fort". (Like Dun Laoghaire). You're on the grounds of your ancestors, potentially :) Greetings from a Serb from South Dublin. Hope the Craic's 90 while you're there

OK, first you are very well informed about things, and with travellers and vlogers claiming to know things, it's usually not the case. Second, your pronunciation of Serbian is so accurate and easy, that it's amassing.
